Chapter 247: Turning into a Butterfly
Guanyin and others left Chang'an for more than half a year, and when they left, they drove lightly, and followed Li Yuan when they came back, but they were extraordinarily majestic.
When the emperor travels, there is no light car to say, he has to use a big halo book, the so-called halogen book is to rely on, plus the accompanying officials and thousands of guards, everywhere he goes, he must be under martial law.
Guanyin is the first time to travel with the imperial car, and this is the only way to truly appreciate the grandeur and majesty of being the emperor, and the pomp and circumstance cannot be truly described without tens of thousands of words.
------
Guanyin returned to the Taiji Palace, lived in the Chengqing Palace, think about the Taiji Palace is much more magnificent than the Changchun Palace, but it has a lot less freedom than the Changchun Palace, once she lives in, she becomes a caged bird, and it is too difficult to go out once.
After returning to the palace to rest for a day, early the next morning, Guanyin went to Wanchun Hall to greet Li Yuan.
Li Yuan saw that Guanyin's maid was already old and his mobility was inconvenient, so he especially explained that Guanyin didn't have to go to Wanchun Hall every day to see him in the future.
Guanyin also felt that the daughter-in-law came to see her uncle every day with a big belly, and she was a little embarrassed, so she didn't particularly insist, and before the child in the belly was in labor, she only went to the Wanchun Palace every three or five times.
------
On the way back to the Chengqing Palace, Guanyin turned to the Qianqiu Hall and went to visit Wan Guifei.
This time, Li Yuan drove Changchun Palace, not for leisure, but for Li Shimin, who was about to go on the expedition, Wan Guifei did not accompany him, only a few concubines went with him.
Wan Guifei and Guanyin have not seen each other for several months, and when she heard that Guanyin was coming, she hurriedly stood up and went to the door of the hall to greet her.
Seeing Hsinchu and Zhanhua supporting Guanyin, whose lower abdomen was bulging high, up the steps of His Majesty, Wan Guifei hurriedly crossed the threshold and came to Guanyin.
------
When she saw Wan Guifei, Guanyin wanted to give a gift.
Wan Guifei hurriedly held Guanyin's shoulders with both hands, she looked Guanyin up and down, and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Why are you going to give birth again so soon?"
When Guanyin left, Li Chengqian had just been full moon, and now she saw her coming back with a pregnant belly again, which was really unexpected by Concubine Wan, so she asked such a thing without thinking about it.
After asking, Wan Guifei felt that as an elder, this kind of question was a little inappropriate.
She smiled secretly in her heart, where do you have to ask about this kind of thing, it must be that the little couple is reluctant to love day and night, and they will only be pregnant with a child again so soon.
------
Guanyin heard Wan Guifei ask like this, and she didn't know how to answer, so she smiled shyly at Wan Guifei.
Wan Guifei took over Hsinchu to hold Guanyin's left arm, turned around and helped Guanyin to walk to the temple door, and when she arrived at the door, she reminded Guanyin, "Ah Wan be careful of the threshold under your feet."
Guanyin, with the support of Wan Guifei and Zhanhua, entered the Qianqiu Palace.
The palace maid brought a welcome pillow and put it on the couch facing the window in the east room, Wan Guifei and Zhanhua placed Guanyin to sit on the west side of the couch against the pillow, and Wan Guifei sat across the case.
------
There were dried fruits in the food boxes of several cases, and Wan Guifei took two red dates for Guanyin to eat, and the two chatted about what they had seen and heard after saying goodbye while eating.
Wan Guifei complained to Guanyin, "Why didn't you bring Qian'er, my aunt thinks about this little guy every day."
Guanyin smiled and explained to Wan Guifei, "Before Ah Wan came here, she went to Wanchun Hall first, and it was a little inconvenient to take him with you."
Wan Guifei said, "What's inconvenient with him, your grandfather wishes that a group of little emperors and grandsons would be angry with him every day, so he will be happy."
"If it weren't for the leap month, Qian'er would have turned one year old, wouldn't he have left now?"
Guanyin said with a smile, "This kid is a little timid, he can walk with his hands, let him walk by himself, he doesn't dare to move a single step."
------
The two of them talked about the child for a while, and Wan Guifei looked at the door and said in a low voice, "After you left, there was calm in this palace for a while, and in the past two months, some people have begun to be restless."
Guanyin asked Wan Guifei, "Are you talking about those favorite concubines?"
Wan Guifei asked Guanyin strangely, "How do you know?"
Guanyin smiled intriguingly, "Isn't this clear? Now that those people have given birth, there will definitely be new ideas."
------
Guanyin had long thought that there would only be temporary peace in the harem that time.
At that time, several of Li Yuan's favorite concubines were pregnant with children, and they didn't have the heart to participate in the chaos in the harem.
Now that these people have given birth to children, they will compete to get Li Yuan's favor again, and naturally there will be some waves.
------
This year was a bumper harvest year for Li Shimin, and he had three sons in one year.
Li Yuan is much more powerful than Li Shimin, Mo Lifang and Sun Baolin each gave birth to a prince for Li Yuan a year ago, and after the New Year, several other concubines gave birth to four princes and four princesses for him.
Yin Xin's daughters Yin Yu, Yuwen Lingxin, Zhang Baolin, and Guo Baolin were born boys.
Yang Xiong's granddaughter Yang Yan, Cui Mingan's daughter Cui Qiang, Yang Su's daughter Yang Huan, and Xue Daoheng's daughter Xue Shu were born girls.
------
The concubines who gave birth to princes and princesses for Li Yuan are meritorious people, and Li Yuan will be canonized.
Mo Lifang and Sun Baolin are the concubines who first gave birth to the prince for Li Yuan after Li Yuan became emperor, and were canonized as concubines and concubines respectively, and were among the nine concubines.
------
Yin Xin's daughters Yin Yu, Yuwen Lingxin, Zhang Baolin, and Guo Baolin are also princes.
Yin Yu was canonized as Concubine De, and her rank was immediately after Concubine Wan.
Yuwen Lingxin was canonized as Zhaoyi, ranking first among the nine concubines.
Zhang Baolin and Guo Baolin were canonized as Jieyu, which is the third product and is among the twenty-seventh women.
Yang Xiong's granddaughter Yang Yan, Cui Mingan's daughter Cui Qiang, Yang Su's daughter Yang Huan, and Xue Daoheng's daughter Xue Shu were all born princesses and were all canonized as Jieyu.
------
In the palace, giving birth to a child should also be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the merit of giving birth to a prince should be greater, and the mother is more valuable than the child.
But Zhang Baolin and Guo Baolin are also princes born to Yin Yu and Yuwen Lingxin, why are they the same as Yang Yan, Cui Qiang, Yang Huan, and Xue Shu who gave birth to daughters?
This is because Zhang Baolin and Guo Baolin's backgrounds are not high, and the power of the family is not strong, while Yin Yu and Yuwen Lingxin are naturally noble.
With the newly titled Zhang Baolin and Guo Baolin, the grade has changed from the sixth grade to the third grade, and the future titles have also changed to Zhang Jieyu and Guo Jieyu. Although it is not as noble as Yin Yu and Yuwen Lingxin, it is much stronger than the original title "Baolin".
------
all know that Yuwen Lingxin has the Yuwen family behind her as a backstage, so she was canonized Zhaoyi.
Few people know why Yin Yu was canonized as Concubine De, and her rank is higher than that of Yuwen Lingxin, after Wan Guifei.
------
Yin Yu's father, Yin Xin, was an important minister of the Western Liang court.
After Xiliang was annexed to the Sui Dynasty, Xiao Yu's sister became Yang Guang's queen, his brother Xiao Cong came to Chang'an to be an official, and Yin Xin also came to Chang'an as the most trusted person of the Xiao family.
Therefore, the Yin family and the Xiao family can be said to be world friends, and Yin Yu entered the palace to entrust the relationship between Queen Xiao.
The Yin family has a friendship with the Xiao family, and the relationship between Yin Xin and Xiao Yu is naturally very close.
Now that Xiao Yu is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Yin Xin begged Xiao Yu to speak for her on Yin Yu's canonization, but because of the deep friendship between the two families, Xiao Yu is not good at Bo Yin Xin's face.
------
Yin Yu's family has the support of the prime minister of the dynasty, and he himself is deeply liked by Li Yuan.
She is as beautiful as a flower, versatile, and is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Especially different from the other concubines in the palace, she is from Jiangnan, and she has a different Jiangnan girl temperament from the other concubines in the palace.
Petite and charming, charming and moving, speaking a soft and tactful Wu Nong soft language.
------
As the saying goes, scarcity is precious, Li Yuan has read all the spring colors of the northern beauties in the harem, and he especially likes this unique Jiangnan girl.
has Li Yuan's love, has a backstage like the Xiao family to support her, and now has given birth to a son for Li Yuan, Yin Yu is naturally qualified to be canonized as Concubine De.
------
These concubines, who were originally favored by Li Yuan, after they became pregnant with children, all quietly stinged in the palace, and there were fewer incidents in the harem.
Now that they have given birth to a child, Yin Yu has become the concubine of the first grade, Yuwen Lingxin has become the Zhaoyi of the second grade, and the others have become Jieyu of the third grade, and their value has doubled, and they have more confidence in speaking and doing things.
Like a cocoon chrysalis that stings into a butterfly, they hope for a better and broader world.
------
Compared with the concubines under Baolin, these concubines who have just given birth to children are like big fish, and those low-grade concubines are like small shrimps.
As concubines in the harem, their greatest desire and pursuit is to be favored by Li Yuan and get more opportunities to be lucky.
The opportunity to enter the imperial chamberlain is a rare resource that the harem concubines swear to fight for.
------
Here I have to talk about the imperial system in the palace since ancient times.
According to the ancient system, the Son of Heaven set up one queen, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives.
These are the concubines with grades, in addition to these grades, there are thousands of palace people in the harem who have no grades.
------
According to the harem system that has been passed down from generation to generation.
In the first half of each month, starting with the eighty-one imperial wife.
The royal wives arranged nine nights, three nights for the world's wives, one night for nine concubines, one night for the three ladies, and one night for the queen, for a total of fifteen days.
In the second half of each month, starting with the Queen.
One night for the queen, one night for the three ladies, one night for nine concubines, three nights for the world's wives, and nine nights for the royal wives, a total of fifteen days.
Therefore, each month is added up, the queen occupies two days, the third lady occupies two days, the nine concubines occupy two days, the twenty-fourth wife occupies six days, and the eighty-one royal wives account for eighteen days.
------
The situation in the Taiji Palace today is that there is no queen;
The two ladies are Wan Guifei and Concubine Yin Yu;
The two concubines are Zhaoyi, Yuwen Lingxin and Sun Yurong;
There are six women in the world, namely Yang Yan, Cui Qiang, Yang Huan, Xue Shu, Zhang Jieyu, and Guo Jieyu.
Coincidentally, each of these high-grade concubines can get their turn for one day a month. Maybe Li Yuan took great pains to arrange it like this.
-------
Among the two ladies, Wan Guifei is in charge of Shang Yu and Gong Zheng, and Yin Defei is in charge of Shang Gong and Shang Shi.
Wan Guifei was afraid that the concubines would have disputes because of the matter of the bed, so after discussing with Zifu and Qingyan, she arranged a fixed day for each high-grade concubine to sleep every month.
When Li Yuan wanted to come to the harem, whoever had his turn on this day would be served.
-------
It is said that everyone has a fixed day to sleep, and there should be no more strife in the harem.
But things are often not as simple as they think, and the harem is still fighting for you and me.
After investigating the root cause of the matter, the problem lies with Li Yuan.
